Giant Pumpkins 2018

Nice looking pumpkin, really long.

I guess it’s time to sacrifice a big old pumpkin to the Halloween gods.
Until next year, so long to the pumpkin patch.

Really nice Dan! What did it weigh? It looks like it is still solid, mine almost always end up rotting

I was lucky enough to get seed this year from derby and I failed. I’m happy you got one, they look so awesome. Thanks Derby and sorry I failed your seeds.

If I had to venture a guess I would think that it was around 300lbs or so at its peak. The vine died about 6 weeks ago but since it doesn’t rain in summer here, no fungal problems until some critters began gnawing on it a couple weeks ago. I didn’t bury the vine nodes so I believe that hindered it from reaching it’s true potential.

I’ll crack it open tomorrow. If anyone wants seeds send me a PM.

It’s really a nice looking pumpkin, I wish I could keep mine from rotting like that. It does look about the size of one I grew a few years ago that measured around 300 lbs. I made mine into a jack-o-lantern.

Not a giant, but a little fun at work. No one else wanted to do it so I gave it a go.
